Existing tenants at these facilities will not be affected by the proposed rental rate adjustments. Recommendation: That the City Council/Housing Development Corporation authorize rental rates for any future tenants to be set in accordance with current Section 8 guidelines and be maintained in accordance with Section 8 rates on an ongoing basis for new tenants.

Annual Merit Salary Adjustment – City Manager On September 13, 2011, the City Council conducted an annual review of the City Manager’s job performance and provided a rating of Substantially Exceeds Expectations. The City’s established policies and procedures for merit salary adjustments apply to the City Manager in the same manner as all the other full-time employees. Under the City’s compensation system, a performance rating of Substantially Exceeds Expectations equates to a merit salary adjustment of 5% within the established salary range. Last year, the City Manager was awarded a 5% merit increase based on a Substantially Exceeds Expectations performance evaluation but he elected to accept a 2.5% merit increase. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the merit salary adjustment within the salary range in accordance with the City’s established policies and and procedures for full-time employees. E.

Earlier this month, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) took a similar position of support for this alternative plan which would essentially upgrade the Metrolink commuter rail system rather than building a brand new high speed rail system through the Valley along the I-10 Freeway or SR-60 Freeway corridors. Recommendation: That the City Council consider and provide direction relative to this matter. 10.
